为什么值得读
- 以前政府能源专家的中立立场审视气候科学
- 质疑主流气候共识并指出模型存在的重大局限
- 论证严谨扎实，能有效缓解非理性的气候焦虑
“海平面骤升正在淹没海岸线。”“飓风和龙卷风正变得愈加猛烈和频繁。”“气候变化将演变成一场经济灾难。”你一定听过这些被当成既定事实的言论。然而根据科学事实，所有这些论调都具有极大的误导性。谈及气候变化时，媒体、政客和其他知名人士纷纷宣称“科学已有定论”。可现实中，从科研成果到报告、再到大众媒体这漫长的传话游戏，已被误解和虚假信息所侵蚀。诸如关于气候运行方式的核心问题……

……技术，这样我们就能避免因自然灾害而死亡。这固然很好，但如果我们正在让自然灾害变得更糟、让海平面上升，那依然是我们应该尽力避免的事情。我觉得加州理工学院前教务长史蒂文·库宁（Steven Koonin）写的《未定》（Unsettled）[1]要更有说服力得多。论证方法严谨且科学。作者不带党派偏见。他确实曾在BP工作过，但也曾在奥巴马政府任职。……
…technology so we can avoid deaths from natural disasters. That's good but if we are causing natural disasters to be worse and the sea level to rise that's still something we should seek to avoid. I found Unsettled, [1] by former Caltech provost Steven Koonin to be much more compelling. The approach is rigorous and scientific. The author is not partisan. He did work for BP but also served in the Obama administration.…
……你显然是被某个宣传机器的输出带了节奏，看的根本不是可信的独立研究成果。懂我意思吧（See what I did there）？我甚至还可以给你甩几个链接反将你一军：https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... https://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Never-Environmental-Alarmi... https://www.amazon.com/Fossil-Future-Flourishing-Requires-Ga...
…You're clearly influenced by the outputs of a propaganda industry, not the outputs of credible independent research. See what I did there? I'll even one-up you with some links: https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... https://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Never-Environmental-Alarmi... https://www.amazon.com/Fossil-Future-Flourishing-Requires-Ga...
1. 看看这个链接：https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... 或许能减轻你的一些焦虑。2. 你说“气候变化”“让我夜不能寐”。你觉得这是一种理性的心态吗？难道你不该敞开……
1. Look at https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... It may alleviate some of your worries. 2. You say "climate change" "keeps me up at night". Do you believe that is a rational state of mind to have? Shouldn't you open…
我觉得《未定》（Unsettled）这本书挺有意思的 https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... 他曾经是奥巴马政府的高官
I found the book Unsettled quite interesting https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matt... He was high up in Obama admin
有不同意见很正常。在这里反对意见并不是什么禁忌。事实上，我最近一直在读斯蒂芬·E·库宁写的《未定》（Unsettled），书里对气候变化的共识提出了质疑，作者提出了很多非常有力的观点。
It’s ok to disagree. Disagreement isn’t verboten here. In fact, I’ve been reading the book Unsettled by Stephen E. Koonin which calls into question the consensus on climate change and the author makes some great points.
……比如战争、自然现象、气候变化及其后续影响等等。去买几本关于这个话题的书读读——迈克尔·谢伦伯格的《绝望之后》（Apocalypse Never）、比约恩·隆堡的《虚惊一场》（False Alarm）、史蒂文·库宁的《未定》（Unsettled），了解一下围绕气候变化这个议题的事实与虚构叙事。如果你自己不陷入恐慌模式，他们也就极不可能被卷进“气候导致世界末日”的神话里。……
…like war, natural phenomena, changing climate and its ramifications and more. Get some books on the subject - Michael Shellenberger's "Apocalypse Never", Bjørn Lomborg's "False Alarm", Steven Koonin's "Unsettled" and read up on the facts and fictional narratives around the subject of the changing climate. If you are not in panic-mode they are far less likely to be pulled into the fable of a climate-induced eschaton.…
